First esmoking purchase - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

If you were advising a newbie about what to get for their first esmoking purchase what would you suggest is the minimum for a decent starter experience?

Imagine this is for a moderate smoker who might want to try quitting. Money is not plentiful so it needs to be the bare minimum in case they don't like esmoking. However, it needs to be sufficient to keep them going for a week or so until they can order more stuff if they like it.

A kit here means 2x batteries, 1x atomiser, 1x charger and cord, 5x cartridges.

Come on all you experienced vapers, get voting.

I think poll fatigue might be setting in on the forum

Kate, I guess it depends a little on whether one gets kits with or without warranty. Without warranty, I would definitely go for two kits, plus cartridges, plus juice (not listed). With warranty, I would go for kit+cartridges+atomizer+ juice (and maybe an extra battery).

MagusSteele · 11-20-2008, 02:30 AM

A Kit should be 2 full units to start, IMO
2 Batteries and 2 Atomizers
Add some juice and youll be all set to "Start"
IF, and it can happen, the atomizer dies quick, you can be truned off before you really get started. That is the weakest link in the whole product.
We all know after a week or so, we all started ordering everything with the name e-cig to try it after we were hooked on them

Thats why i picked 1 Kit, and 1 Atom, and 1 Juice.
You asked what would be the Basic to Start with.

That's what my advice would be too Steele, a kit, juice and atomiser. It's a balance between being sure of a working kit and not spending too much to try it out.

I have to third that. A kit, juice and extra atomizer make for the perfect setup for a new e-smoker. If any suppliers were to throw together a super starter kit like this it would probably sell quiet well. Now that I think of it I believe KatyS may have a kit like that doesn't she?

A few people are putting together sets now, Katy has the one, its big kit.
Smokytreats has the duel 901 kit, but no juice.
Everyone will have a starter set that is truely a full starter set i believe.

Kate · 11-20-2008, 02:47 AM

Yes, Katy has a very good starting kit, excellent value for money, it's cheaper than buying separates.

I haven't checked out Phil's kit yet but the DSE901 mini is a winner.

I picked other, can't say why without breaking rules. But I believe you need little more for the truly total e-cig starter kit.
